Visions of Sugarplums--Day 3

Hope you've enjoyed the first 2 days--now it's Visions of Sugarplums, Day 3. Lots of inspiration & wonderful sponsors/prizes! Don't forget to start each day with a comment at Chouxchoux Paper Art & then each additional comment along the way gives you another entry for the random drawings. All the details are on Lori's blog.

I saved my favorite project for the final day. It began with a smooshed panel die cut with AJVD Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop.

When it was completely dry, I used my Mini MISTI to stamp the beautiful Stampendous nativity in Versamark & embossed with Zing Denim embossing powder. I repeated several times to get a very thick, shiny image. Thought the background needed some stars, but didn't want to detract from the nativity so I used white ink with a heidi swapp stencil & embossed with clear embossing powder.

The sentiment from the AJVD set called Christmas Star is silver embossed & I used a bit of silver Stickles on the star & halo. This one is going to my sister & brother-in-law.

So gorgeous, Greta!! It is one project deserving of a frame and displayed every Christmas...so beautiful!!! The background and embossed nativity scene is amazing!! It was so great hopping with you for the VOSP this year!!

Your nativity scene card is stunning, Greta. I can't thank you enough for sharing your talents and inspiring us all on the Visions of Sugarplums Blog Hop. I've really enjoyed myself and can't wait to see more.Blessings,Karen Lwww.karen-mycuprunnethover.blogspot.com

Splendid use of your smooshed background, and of course I love this wonderful nativity image. Really liked the treatment you've given it on this design with the repeated layers of the dark embossing. It really shows up so beautifully on the blues in the sky background. TFS
